Now what can I do with 120x of these...?
<< < (3/6) > >>
cdev:
It would be just great if it 1.) could be used as an RPI display or 2.) could run Linux and access a network.

Its a shame it isn't a touch screen!
t1d:
In the USA, we have "MakerSpace" clubs... They are groups of DIYers. They might like some. So would an electronics class, or club, at a local school.
technix:
I would want one just so I can reprogram it into something more useful.

Once back in the time, I got my hands on one of the previous generation ones. I did some investigation, was able to replace the video (had to attach a button to the board and press it 4 times to enable the USB), and figured out the LCD interface being a quite standard 40 (or maybe 50) pin parallel RGB interface. Could be easily driven by any standard controller or FPGA.
So I put it back to the pile of junk ...
Anyway, if I had as many of them as the OP does, I'd consider making some kind of video wall from it, as I sometimes like to make blinky things (http://wunderkis.de/Blinkenlights/blinkenlights.html)

Oh, that batteries might be useful. I've made a >= 1kWh battery out of a shitload of discarded company swag shitty chinese USB power banks. The battery is finished and working, but still waiting to be integrated here: http://wunderkis.de/pvbat/index.html
